Robert in Dom Joly's kitchen

The Guardian has the story behind the photo (from 2001): "For a spoof documentary going out on Channel 4 on December 28,
Being Dom Joly, he managed to get Robert Smith to pretend to be his
best man. "He was totally into Trigger Happy, which was so cool. We went
for a drink afterwards and he was such a nice bloke. I was thinking: 'I
can't believe I'm having a drink with Robert Smith, my hero.'

"Then
we ended up here which was even more incredible. I had to hide the
photos of me looking like him. We were chatting and drinking for hours,
and I was thinking, 'This is just too cool.' Then it turned at about
four in the morning. I started thinking: 'I wish Robert Smith would
leave. I've got to get up in the morning!' "

Didn't he write about this some time ago? That when he first met RS he was like "Hells yeah, RS in my house" and then it got to 4am and he was like" RS won't leave my house and it's 4am". Anyway, I know they are friends but this looks like a 1996-ish photo.
